What If Radiohead Scored an NES Game?

Listen to Kid A and OK Computer in all of their 8-bit glory.

As if you really needed a reason to listen to a pair of the finest albums of the past 20 years, a YouTube user named QuintonSung meticulously broke deconstructed Radiohead's OK Computer and Kid A and rebuilt them using sounds that would fit right at home in any NES game. If you love Radiohead, you'll absolutely adore these 8-bit renditions. If you hate Radiohead, then get off my lawn.

There's not much I have to say about this other than it's amazing and deserves to be listened to. Hell, the guitar feedback at the end of Karma Police sounds exactly like Mario picking up a coin. The titular track off of Kid A sounds like it could be the theme for an epic 8-bit RPG. And In Limbo would fit right in with a pain in the ass stage from Mega Man 2.5.

This is the coolest non-Radiohead Radiohead music since Jonny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood.Kid A is neatly annotated for your listening pleasure, but you'll have to peck your way through OK Computer if you want to find your favorite track. Seriously, if I stumble across anything cooler than this today, then May 23, 2012 just might go down in history as the finest 24 hours of my life.
